0:00.0	Hi, this is Ava from Vanta. In today's digital world, compliance regulations are changing constantly,
0:07.1	and earning customer trust has never mattered more. Vanta helps companies get compliant fast and stay
0:12.9	secure, with the most advanced AI automation and continuous monitoring out there. So whether
0:17.8	you're a startup going for your first SOC 2 or ISO-27,001, or a growing enterprise managing vendor risk, Banta makes it quick, easy, and scalable, and I'm not to say that because I work here. Get started today at banta.com. Hey folks, Ben Shapiro here. Don't miss our latest episode of Daily Wire Backstage.
